No the L96 is made by Accuracy International and comes in several forms, the AIAW and the AIAE, AIAX, etc. This is the Sako TRG-22 with a Stolle Atlas action, a Kreiger barrel, and a custom 2 stage trigger. The stock set is factory Sako, the backbone is custom made by Kinetic Research Group, and the rest is custom made by Dan Dowling, a world class gunsmith. I own the real rifle. The fish is 100% FoxInShadow.

I'm from the Uk, so I know a bit about Accuracy International. The exposed upper half of the barrel reminded me of, asSubwooferHero said, the L96, but moreso the Remington R700 and the Winchester Model 70 (Perhaps the Mosin as well).Aside from the stock, the most iconic part of the rifle to my eyes, is the way the forestick kind of recedes before reaching the trigger guard. It looks familiar from somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember why!Cheers for linking the picture... that rifle is a thing of art!

Hey, thanks! My version is confusing as hell to enthusiasts, and that's the effect I was going for other than the fact I enjoy the ergonomics of the stock set. When Sako built the TRG series, they built them for precision work for the military. Of course, I wasn't satisfied with "excellent" accuracy, I wanted more. It has taken me several years, but I finally replaced my arsenal with one-off custom builds. It's just a passion for me.

I can sortof tell the difference between guns! my nan hates guns (she grew up with them and well as you know back in the day guns were a tool for everything..even if it meant life was taken from another human)

i can tell the difference between some hand guns and some rifles but not much at all..i actually learnt more about guns when i went through jasons gallery XD

Thought I should add: wonderfully executed. (Aside from that niggling detail. ) The "soft focus" on the ground and parts of the rifle keeps the eye flowing back to the fish's body with those beautiful golden scales and that alien eye, quietly sizing you up.
